It contains four elastic stays with a height of 26 cm. The product’s fabric doesn’t cause allergies, is well ventilated and has an antimicrobial coating.
To put on
1. Place the product symmetrically relative to the edge of the spine.
2. Pull the brace forwards and attach the frontal elements to one another as tightly as needed. If the product feels too tight – loosen it. If you can’t feel the elastic pressure, you should probably tighten it a bit more.
